Dog rescue is a sad and dark place but as a rescuer regardless of all the horrible things you see... the abuse, the neglect, the death, the ones you can't help, the mean and cruel people... you deal with it for the dogs. You put on a happy face and you deal. This blog is to help one dog rescuer deal and hopefully show other rescuers they are not alone, even though it feels like that most of the time.

Update on Hope

I want everyone to know that the dog with the broken legs is named Hope. She had surgery today.. 3 hours of surgery. Total cost of surgery $2,000. This does not include the emergency vet visit, her 3 night stay this weekend, her staying over tonight, her additional medical care needed, her vaccinations or her spay.

Hope is my $3,000 baby girl!!

They surgery went as well as can be expected. The vet was able to put her bones back in line but there is no way to tell if she will have issues as she grows. Only time will tell.
